Ballad Of Tom Jones

Em
What did I do wrong?
        G
Oh, you nearly drove me cuckoo.
Fm
Am I really all that bad?
                  Bb
You're worse than Hannibal Lector, Charlie Manson, Freddie Kruger.
Em
Why are we still together?
            G
Oh, I can't leave you till you're dead.
Fm
You mean, "till death do us part"?
             Bb
I mean like cyanide strangulation or an axe through your head.

[Bridge]
       Dm                        G
It was lucky for us I turned the radio on.
     Dm                         G
They say that music soothes the savage beast.
          Dm
There was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red.
    G
The two of us would surely have ended up dead

[Chorus]
    C                            Fm     G
You stopped us from killing each other. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C                          Fm        G
You'll never know, but you saved our lives. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C                    Fm
I've never thrown my knickers at you
    G
And I don't come from Wales.

[Verse]
Em
Still haven't solved our problem.
             G
You mean we hate each other's guts
            Fm
Still wanna poison your pizza
    Bb
And I still wanna cut off your nuts
  Em
I phoned the marriage guidance
           G
I tied the phone line round your neck
     Fm
I'm sick of all this hatred
   Bb
Oh that'll be the arsenic making you sick.

[Bridge]
         Dm                         G
You were about to drive me over the edge of a cliff
     Dm                               G
As I tried to jump out, I knocked the stereo on.
Dm
You changed your mind and then slammed on the brakes.
       G
It was lucky for us; we'd bought his greatest hits!

[Chorus]
    C                            Fm     G
You stopped us from killing each other. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C                          Fm        G
You'll never know, but you saved our lives. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C                    Fm
I've never thrown my knickers at you
    G
And I don't come from Wales.

[Middle]
Em Cmaj7 x4

[Verse]
    Em
And now our war is over.
              G
I've lost the urge to break your neck
         Fm
I owe my life to "What's new, pussy cat?".
Bb
Delilah stopped me hating you and wishing you dead.
      Em
Oh, I used to call you Satan.
             G
And you were Cruella De'ville.
            Fm
But now you call me your Delilah.
    Bb
And now I'm not your Lucifer and I am just a pussycat.

[Bridge]
    Dm             G
But just a word of warning now
        Dm               G
Just in case we ever get tired of his voice.
Dm
I know the Mafia, Godzilla, King Kong.
    G
And I know an atom bomb that's going for a song

[Chorus]
    C                            Fm     G
You stopped us from killing each other. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C                          Fm        G
You'll never know, but you saved our lives. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C                    Fm
I've never thrown my knickers at you
    G
And I don't come from Wales.

[Chorus]
    C                            Fm     G
You stopped us from killing each other. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C                          Fm        G
You'll never know, but you saved our lives. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C                    Fm
I've never thrown my knickers at you
    G
And I don't come from Wales.
